Not a bad day.
Happy Easter! I am sitting at work in the cubicle because I volunteered to come in and work an overtime word processing shift as it's a holiday (our office gave us Friday and Monday off...yay!) and they wanted a wordpro operator here just in case someone needed work done (note: I am NOT a wordpro operator. My cubicle job is slightly better than that. We have a wordpro department in this office though, and they are mega-shortstaffed, hence the call for someone to work today).So I'm getting ...
I scream, you scream, we all scream for … gelato.
SourceSometimes you can't have everything you want in life. Sometimes you just don't make enough money, or have enough time. Sometimes you bust your ass in an office all day and then you go work at a gelato shop all night so that in 5 months you can move to paradise and become a scuba instructor.I am in a pickle - I started my part-time job at the gelato shop last night and it was actually a lot of fun.

A step in the right direction.
A few good things have gone on lately, which is a nice change!I took my new mask and snorkel out for a spin in the pool last night and they were awesome! Mask was a little foggy, but I might not have gotten all the manufacturer's film off the inside, and also my face was super hot because I was working so hard. It won't be like that diving (especially since the water is so much colder) and also I'll be using anti-fog spray when I dive, so I'm sure it will be fine. The semi-dry ...
Keep it on the cheap.
Cubicle Throwdown's Guide to Keeping it CHEAPI have been reading a lot of blogs and websites lately and gotten some good tips on downsizing your spending before a trip (see my post recapping all the links here). I have a few of my own so I am going to share them here to add to the wealth of knowledge on the old interwebs.First, a disclaimer. I am not going to eat packaged ramen and Kraft Dinner every day just so I can go on a trip. I feel like if you're down with that, you probably don't ...
